My test involves creating bool vectors of various sizes.
Usually it works, sometimes the intervals.c assert fails.
There doesn't seem to be a pattern; no single test case
always works.

That is, in *scratch* I do this:

(make-bool-vector 1000000 nil)
(make-bool-vector 1000000 nil)
(make-bool-vector 10000 nil)
(make-bool-vector 100000 nil)
(make-bool-vector 10000000 nil)

and evaluate each one in turn.  I do some more if the first
few don't dump core.  It fairly reliably dumps core eventually.

This is Fedora 15 x86-64, compiled with GCC 4.7.1,
with -g -O0 -DENABLE_CHECKING.  I ran emacs -Q
under X.
